[h=1]No new private schools in Karnataka for 3 years[/h]
Decision comes as no. of students dwindles in govt schools; 2,429 requests for new schools
Express News Service
BENGALURU: In view of the dwindling student strength in government schools, the state government is planning to check the mushrooming of private schools. It may not give permission to set up new private schools in the state for at least the next three years. Over 2,429 applications to set up new schools by private managements are pending before the department of primary and secondary education for the current academic year. And, according to sources in the department, these are unlikely to get the official nod.
“Due to RTE, the number of students in government schools has come down. Under RTE, 25 % seats at private schools are given to students from economically weaker backgrounds. Increasing number of private schools within a 5-km radius of government schools is also a threat,” said a senior official of the department. “The department is therefore thinking of freezing permission for opening of new private schools. A final decision is yet to be taken,” the official added.

This may increase the country's defence capability to counter threats.
[h=1]More Teeth Against Armoured Threats: US Approves Sale Of Six Apache Attack Helicopters To India[/h]
If a US government plan to sell six Apache attack helicopters to India goes ahead, the country’s defence capability to counter ground-armoured threats will increase.
Washington has approved the $930 million deal to sell the Indian military six AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, the State Department said on Tuesday (12 June). The agreement, which is awaiting the approval of the US Congress, is expected to go ahead if no US lawmaker objects to the contract.
Boeing and Tata have begun to produce Apache fuselages at a plant in India, but Tuesday’s approval relates to a direct sale of finished products from US manufacturers. The lead contractors are US arms, aviations and engineering giants Lockheed Martin, General Electric and Raytheon.
In addition to aircraft, the contract includes night vision sensors, GPS guidance and hundreds of Hellfire anti-armour and Stinger air-to-air missiles.

China curbs, PM Narendra Modi make Indian industrial firms world beaters
Modi’s focus on electrification has buoyed demand for cables and wires used in the power secto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indian companies are dominating the ranks of the world’s best-performing industrial firms as they benefit from neighboring China’s pollution crackdown and billions in domestic infrastructure spending.
Of the 15 best-performing stocks over five years, eight are from Asia’s No. 3 economy and range from graphite electrode makers to equipment providers. Companies such as HEG Ltd., Graphite India Ltd. and Finolex CablesNSE -1.23 % Ltd. have benefited from China’s pollution control measures as well as India’s pledge to electrify even the remotest village, said Gopal Agrawal, portfolio manager at Tata Asset Management Ltd., which oversees $3 billion in equity funds.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s focus on electrification has buoyed demand for cables and wires used in the power sector. India added 100,000 circuit kilometers of interstate transmission capacity in the last four years, according to a June 5 statement from India’s power ministry. The nation has also pledged to spend $88 billion this fiscal year on roads, railways and other infrastructure.

[h=1]Chennai Metro To Launch Electric Bike Service, Charging Points At Metro Stations[/h]
The Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) is looking at setting up electric vehicle (EV) charging points at four of its stations – St Thomas Mount, Koyambedu, Alandur and Thirumangalam – and also offer electric bike (e-bike rentals) outside the stations, reports The New Indian Express. The e-bike system is a keyless one that works using a mobile app and a one-time password (OTP), similar to the ones in Bengaluru.
The move to offer charging points and e-bikes comes in the wake of the Centre’s National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP). CMRL will partner with the Power Grid Corporation of India to provide the charging points.

Age is not a barrier to gain knowledge. Here is a 96 year young student
Not too old for school:Kerala's 96-yr-old student will warm your heart
Karthyayini Amma will enter Class 4 next year and plans to study till Class 10 under a government scheme in the south Indian state of Kerala.
Muttom in Cheppad village is no different from the hundreds of other verdant settlements that can be found by the backwaters of Alappuzha. About an hour’s drive from Aleppy town, it is a settlement that falls under the Cheppad Grama Pachayat. However, a recent turn of events that involves a particular enrolment in the state government’s literacy drive has made Muttom the talk of town. Three months ago, 96-year-old Karthyayini Amma was enrolled in the district’s literacy mission programme, making her the oldest student in the whole of Alappuzha, and perhaps even the state.
“It was during one of the surveys done for the state’s drive to achieve 100% literacy that lead to Karthyayini Amma being identified,” said Ullas Kumar, the bespectacled, serious-looking secretary of the Cheppad Grama Panchay

Tamil Nadu: Centre choses Madurai for AIIMS
MADURAI: The ministry of health and family welfare is understood to have chosen Thoppur in Madurai as the location for the proposed All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). This was communicated to state revenue minister R B Udayakumar by the chairman of Pradhan Mantri Swathya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), Sanjay Roy, here on Tuesday.
According to the communique, Thoppur has bagged the highest marks among the five places in Tamil Nadu shortlisted for setting up the prestigious institute. The decision is also subject to the realisation of five conditions including four-lane connectivity from the national highway, 20MVA power supply from two different feeders, adequate water supply, handover of land and shifting of transformer. The fifth condition is execution of an agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, apparently on a pipeline passing through the site.

Army is free to take decisions now

[h=1]How Uttar Pradesh Saved Thousands Of Its Ailing Newborn Babies Through Simple Fixes
[/h][FONT="]
[/FONT][/COLOR]
From filling vacant posts to training grassroots workers, the government made some simple fixes.
If one looks beyond the shrill rhetoric of the Gorakhpur medical hospital case, it seems the last one year has been good for newborn babies in Uttar Pradesh. Data available with the health department show remarkable improvement in the performance of neonatal units in 2017-18 compared to the previous years.
The special care newborn units (SCNUs) usually operate as part of a district level hospital. They are meant to save sick babies upto 28 days, either born within the hospital, nursing homes or at homes. They are crucial because studies have found that the daily risk of mortality in the first month of life is 30 times higher than the second month. In fact, two-thirds of all baby deaths happen during the first four weeks.
Here's what the numbers look like: In 2015-16, a total of 42,474 newborns were admitted to SCNUs, while 31,390 were successfully discharged. In 2016-17, the number of admissions rose to 55,288 but the percentage of babies discharged came down, with the figure closing at 37,832.
In 2017-18, however, the rise in the number of newborns admitted to SCNUs was steep at 85,259 while the percentage of them discharged was stable at about 65 per cent (a total of 55,759 were discharged). Deaths came down from 11.4 per cent to 10.6 per cent in a year.
In simpler words, close to 25,000 more babies with medical complications went home healthy last year than two years ago.

Quantity-driven China beats India in the tech knowhow race
India and China have brought different philosophies while investing in science and technology.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you had compared India and China in the late 1980s, there would not have been much difference in their science and technology capabilities. In the early 1990s, China had started moving ahead, but the two countries were not too far apart in their preparations for the 21st century industries.
But in the 1990s, China invested heavily in education and research and started moving ahead very quickly. It has continued this thrust ever since. Now the two are poles apart in science and technology infrastructure.
China is nipping at the heels of the US, the world leader in science and technology. It has already caught up in quantity, though it is still some way behind in quality.
India and China have brought different philosophies while investing in science and technology. Chinese leaders, many of whom are well-educated in science and engineering, decided that science and innovation should drive the Chinese economy.

Centre boosting the Administration of J & K
Anti-naxal expert, retired IPS officer Vijay Kumar appointed advisor to J&K Governor
"I look forward to working under the Governor and the great teams and assets already in place in Jammu and Kashmir," Vijayakumar told TNM.
Retired IPS officer K Vijay Kumar has been appointed as an Advisor to the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir governor along with IAS officer BB Vyas, the Chief Secretary of the state.
Vijayakumar till recently was holding the post of senior security adviser to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
Kumar was the chief of the Special Task Force that launched ‘Operation Cocoon’ to nab or kill sandalwood smuggler Veerappan in Tamil Nadu. The success of the operation that ended with the killing of Veerappan made him a household name in Tamil Nadu.
Though the STF had been accused of human rights violations, the clamping down on the sandalwood mafia had come as a big relief to both TN and Karnataka.
"The terms and conditions of their appointment shall be notified separately," a Government Order (GO) stated.

Students protesting his transfer out of the school
We do have some efficient teachers who completely involve in their profession.
[h=1]Don’t go, sir!: TN students cling on to their teacher, refuse to accept his transfer[/h]
The students created a barrier with their love and affection for Bhagawan as he walked out with his transfer order, one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave.
A young man in a simple grey shirt and grey pants is surrounded by students – all of them crying, hanging on to him, holding him back. G Bhagawan, the beloved English teacher of the Government High School in Veliagaram, Thiruvallur, was given a transfer order, and the students of the school were heartbroken. They created a barrier with their love and affection for the 28-year-old – one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave.

We do have some efficient teachers who completely involve in their profession.
[h=1]Don’t go, sir!: TN students cling on to their teacher, refuse to accept his transfer[/h]
The students created a barrier with their love and affection for Bhagawan as he walked out with his transfer order, one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave.
A young man in a simple grey shirt and grey pants is surrounded by students – all of them crying, hanging on to him, holding him back. G Bhagawan, the beloved English teacher of the Government High School in Veliagaram, Thiruvallur, was given a transfer order, and the students of the school were heartbroken. They created a barrier with their love and affection for the 28-year-old – one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave. Touched, Bhagawan, too, was crying as much as his students.

[h=2]Corporation frames bylaws to impose a penalty of up to ₹25,000; stresses on segregation of waste at source[/h]The Chennai Corporation proposes to effect a steep increase in the maximum fine for littering — from ₹50 to ₹25,000 in the city.
The civic body has framed solid waste management bylaws under Section 349 of the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act of 1919 to collect fines ranging from ₹100 to ₹25,000 for littering.
“Event organisers will pay the maximum fine of ₹25,000 for non-segregation, littering, burying and burning of waste,” said an official. Currently, the civic body is empowered to collect merely ₹50 from violators as per statutory provisions, officials said.
The bylaws apply to domestic, institutional, commercial and any other non-residential solid waste generators, as well as individuals who dump solid waste in stormwater drains, underground sewage systems and waterbodies in the city.
For example, any resident who dumps garbage on the street will have to pay a fine of ₹1,000 to the Chennai Corporation.

[h=2]Four-day Ambubachi Mela begins in Guwahati after the Kamakhya temple doors are closed[/h]Ambubachi Mela, a four-day fair to mark the annual menstruation of the goddess at Kamakhya temple in Guwahati, began on Friday.
Kamakhya, atop Nilachal Hills in Guwahati, is one of 51 shaktipeeths or seat of Shakti followers, each representing a body part of the Sati, Lord Shiva’s companion. The temple’s sanctum sanctorum houses the yoni — female genital — symbolised by a rock.
[h=2]Letting Goddess go through it[/h]Priests at the temple said doors of the temple were shut for visitors at 4 p.m. on Friday to let the goddess go through her period.
“The temple doors will be reopened at 4.30 p.m. from Tuesday (June 26). All Hindu temples across the region will remain closed during this period,” Kabindra Sarma, a senior priest, said.

Supply has risen while the demand has fallen.. result.,!!
For Maharashtra dairy farmers, milk is now cheaper than water
File photo Maharashtra farmers pouring milk on the road as a mark of protest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SANGLI: Across Maharashtra's once prosperous milk belt, many dairy farmers face this stinging reality: the milk they sell is cheaper than water.
Some get Rs 23 per litre of cow's milk, mainly in the milk hub of Kolhapur. But most earn just Rs 17-19. By comparison, bottled water sells at Rs 20 a litre. Once the milk reaches consumers in cities, the price doubles to Rs 40-44. But farmers do not get a share of the mark-up.
As the milk economy curdles, the sight of milk dumped on roads has become emblematic of farmer protests. A year ago they got up to Rs 27 per litre of cow’s milk, but prices plunged by Rs 4-10 eight months ago as a result of a surplus and a crash in international skimmed milk powder prices.
With several dairies announcing cuts in procurement rates by Rs 2 from Thursday and some choosing not to buy cow’s milk at all, the crisis is mounting.

[h=2]“You know the effect it would have. I understand if it was widening of road or something inevitable. Can Delhi afford it today,” the Bench remarks.[/h]The Delhi High Court on Monday banned the cutting down of over 16,500 trees for redevelopment of six south Delhi colonies by the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) and the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) till July 4.
A Bench of Justices Vinod Goel and Rekha Palli directed the NBCC not to cut trees till July 4, the next date of hearing and also permitted the petitioner to challenge the orders passed by the department giving permission to cut trees for these residential projects.
“You know the effect it would have. I understand if it was widening of road or something inevitable. Can Delhi afford it today,” the Bench remarked.
The petitioner, an orthopaedic surgeon, has sought the setting aside of the terms of reference and the environment clearances (EC) granted to the project by the Environment Ministry, saying it would lead to the felling of over 16,500 trees.

Since thewidespread attacks of WannaCry on old PCs last year, organisations around theworld have started exercising caution when it comes to data security. However,most organisations in India, particularly the banks, didn’t pay any heed to thelearnings from the incident and have been still continuing on the older operatingsystems of yesteryears. All that is about to change as the Reserve Bank ofIndia has taken it upon itself to get secure computing systems implemented withthe adoption of modern operating systems.
According to a memo released from the regulatory body, RBIrequires all banks to upgrade the operating systems on their ATM machines in aphased manner.

He is reported to have misled banks and misused loan amount.
ED reported to have moved court to declare him a 'Fugitive Offender' and to confiscate his assets worth Rs.12,500/= crore.
I've become poster boy of bank default, will pay up what I owe, says Vijay Mallya in a letter
Fugitive tycoon Vijay Mallya has made his letter written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi public, saying he was "making every effort" to settle his dues but he had been made the "Poster Boy" of bank default and a lightning rod for public anger.
"I wrote letters to both the PM and the Finance Minister on 15th April 2016 and am making these letters public to put things in the right perspective. No response was received from either of them," Mallya claimed in a statement from the UK.
Mallya's 2016 letter to Modi
He further said,"I have been accused by politicians and the media alike of having stolen and run away with Rs 9,000 crores that was loaned to Kingfisher AirlinesNSE -11.11 % (KFA). Some of the lending Banks have also labelled me a wilful defaulter"
Mallya, who is fighting fighting against extradition to India from the UK, said he was tired of the relentless pursuit by the government and its criminal agencies to extradite him.

Rameswaram ammo to be produced in court
Chennai: Following the recovery of a big stock of weapons from Rameswaram, superintendent of police Omprakash Meena today said the rifles and other stuff were almost 25 years old and might have been used during the LTTE war of the mid-1980s in Sri Lanka.
The weapons will be produced in the Madras High Court in a couple of days and then discarded safely.
A huge consignment of ammunition and explosives was unearthed near Thangachimadam in Rameswaram on Monday evening.
Over 5,000 bullets, explosives, 22 boxes of large machine guns were a part of it. The stash came to light after Edison, a resident of Anthoniyarpuram, found a box of bullets while constructing a septic tank Monday.
Edison alerted the police. With an earthmover, police dug up the spot and recovered the ammunition and weapons.
